Food review: Plenty for vegetarians at atmospheric Greek

Sarah Marshall

Located on Sharrowvale Road for the last 13 years, The Greedy Greek has long been a popular choice for food lovers.

Owner Dennis Mouzakis puts this down to the fresh produce the deli uses, and their traditional recipes.

Its wraps are famous across the city, and while I’ve popped in to the deli many times for one myself, I decided to try the place as a restaurant instead.

There isn’t a lot of room in the restaurant, which is situated to the left of the deli - just a few tables inside and a few more on the street - but what it lacks in space it makes up for in atmosphere.

With low lighting, the traditional Greek music playing softly in the background, when we visited The Greedy Greek one evening it felt intimate and welcoming.

The staff are also very attentive and friendly.

As a vegetarian, I’m always impressed when a restaurant offers a wide selection of meat-free dishes. Greek restaurants are often good for this, and the Greedy Greek in particular.

Wanting to get a good sample of the vegetarian dishes on offer, I opted for the vegetarian mixed plate meal.

For £14.40 you get a plate heaped with the restaurant’s best and most tantalising veggie offerings.
